Best Answer

The best candidate is his patron, Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, to whom Shakespeare dedicated Venus & Adonis and Lucrece. In Sonnet 29 he appears to be begging for the vain Earl's help at a time of great personal difficulty, probably during 1592/3. The proposition is evidenced by the unique congruence between Wriothesley's history and the story discernible in Shakespeare's Sonnets.
